2. Six bucks? I paid 40 bucks for it in the store last year.
Not sorry I did, though. It's great.

3. I was soooo tempted when they came out.
Did you know that, with the exceptoion of a four episode collection, they were never released on home video before the DVD sets?

I've been waiting years for this.................

4. Every episode is burned into my retinas.
Thanks to watching them all as a schoolkid during lunch.

9. Yup, me too.
CFTO Channel 9 in Toronto ran them back to back with "Definition", and I used to rush home through the snowbanks to catch the last :20 of the Flintstones. Mom made me Campbell's cream of tomato soup!

And on early sunday mornings, instead of paying for recent programming, they'd run 8(!) back-to-back Flintstones eps in what they called the "Flintstones Festival". I think I usually watched at least 6 every sunday.

But the prints they owned were so old and hacked to pieces that I bet I've missed whole scenes of each episode. They probably never paid to rebroadcast them, either! I know CFTO got into trouble in the 80s for being caught putting too many commercials into each hour of childrens' programming. I bet if I were to count them, the Flinsttones episodes they ran would probably be less than :15 of content!

6. Nice
I just watched GIlligan's Island, season 1, waiting for season 2. Might have top put the Flintstones into the queue.

10. Yup, eBay...
Whenever looking for anything on eBay, try a few mis-spellings. The set I bought were listed under "Flint Stones", instead of "Flintstones".
